Like all accountants he's cautious about taking on more debt even at less than 1percent, I criticise clubs as much as anyone else for not updating the grounds, but it's not his fault the ground is as it is it's the prevoius regimes, apparently he also has plans for a new ground but unlike Castleford you need success and a big fan base to start building, Wakefield dont have either We were so lucky to have Coleman who funded our ground from thousands of miles away. This money is to cover the shortfall of revenue income stream which would have been forthcoming over the current season lost particularly by the big clubs. It's not for grandiose schemes at this stage, it's all about survival, if Carter can keep his club going without it, good luck to him.,
